This website has been designed to help Forgotten Australians and Former Child Migrants understand more about their past and about the historical context of child welfare. We hope that this knowledge of the broader context will be helpful to them and to members of their families who are in the process of finding and telling their stories and coming to terms with the past. Furthermore, we hope that the resources made available through Find & Connect will help raise awareness about this area of Australia's history, and play a role in acknowledging past wrongs.
You can use this site to:
- read information about and view images of children's homes
- get help to find records about your childhood in 'care'
- connect with support groups and services in your state/territory
